[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I don't get informative and truthful references about you I won't hire you. 
If you give me someone who only has fluff to say, I'll think they are stupid themselves. 
I always talk to the mother and the father on separate calls, and ask for details of job, hours, vacation, pay, their experience/history with nannies in general, one thing they wish could have been tweaked, timeliness, communication skills and style, etc.

Wow.

Well, I'll make it easy then:

I work for single parents, and I have one email address and one phone number for those references.  For the few dual parent households, they select who my reference is, and I give that ONE person's information.  I have one family who switches, and they let me know who to list (due to job hours).  There's no way that I would ever hand over contact information for both parents in a dual parent household so that they can be interrogated.  That's asking for my references to not take calls anymore![/quote]
